And put your red boots out
Because that is the very special day
When St Nicholas is about

In Abasement In a Basement

OH - nonny, NO - nonny
Nicholas Goalsworthy
Promised again to
Renounce alcohol.
Characteristically
Incomprehensible,
Muttering epithets,
Cursing the wall.


Premium Member No Bell Noel

Each morning, Saint Nicholas did rise
to a loud jingle jangle surprise
He went where the deer dwell
and removed each one's bell
surely that is a No Bell Peace Prize

For Prince Nicholas, Piece One

My prince, hold your poetry close,
for it shall keep you company.
It will bring you beautiful serenity.
Locked away in the castle of your mind,
I will continue to climb.

Award-winning actor Nicholas Cage -
“Cappola” he was born with. “Cage” is for stage!
He made a quest to find the Holy Grail.
No news of that; it must have been a fail.

Normady's Nicholas Poussin*

There was a young man named Dick Nicholas,
whose girl's breasts were udderly ridic'lous.
She was so well endowed;
she embarrassed the cows.
Yet, Dick loved her 'cause she was ticklish.

wind carries the cries
of lost souls departed hence.
Claimed in the white foam
of a turbulent spring tide....

Its always at this time of year
That you let us know of your fear
You refuse to listen
To Donner und Blitzen*
Although it is only rain, dear!

The Ballad of Nicholas

Hair so red
Locks like fire
Nicholas is here
Growing desire

He laughs so loud
But so soft spoken
Leaves my class
Forever broken

Wait five days
Can hardly stand it
Show him memes
I'm reprimanded

Kill the teacher
Hide the body
Back to Nick
Total hottie

For Prince Nicholas, Piece Two

Sadness, overwhelming, to come to grips
with such an unpleasant reality
such as this.

To realize, my prince, I was not
your first wish, albeit your first kiss.

I should be sadder, I admit, but it's no surprise
to me, I am not the first to gaze lovingly into
your olive green eyes.

Premium Member Twelve Days of Christmas

On the  twelfth  day of Christmas
 St. Nicholas  gave to meeee

Twelve pizza pies
Eleven pigs in a sty...

Ten hooting  owls
Nine golden fowls

Eight barking dogs
Seven leaping frogs

Six poets dancing
Five reindeer prancing

Four bottles of rum...
Three sets of drums 

Two stinging bees....
And a unicorn   just for PD

You That Knows Me

Dear Nicholas,

     I write to you as I wonder
what delights I have to ponder
a gift that was given unto me
that has blessed me more than the eye can see
you stole me away from fear
and held me until I was near
the whispered thoughts only for me
are what you want to be 
I wish to never lose this
or I will be left in abyss.

Nicholas

I'm still trying to catch up
loving the way you make me feel
I need to sit back
and take in all that I have
all that I want with you
Every night I go home
I feel that I was in a dream
but I need to look closer
at what I see
I see how you love me
and I can't help but smile
Please don't let me forget
but look deeper and remember 
the way you look at me

Strike It Rich

Love
A one syllable- four letter word
That we all claim to share
But in reality know very little 
about.
Sought after like a diamond-
But diamonds don't come close,
Because the rarity of love has 
proven true!
For when we seek out love-
We have a better chance to 
strike it rich,
with handfuls of the brilliant 
stone found in love's place.

By Nicholas A. Bello

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Who's the big fat reddest suit
the children shout excited.
Who'll take presents from his bag
and hand them proof enlighted.

Who shouts ho
fat ho fat ho
Laughs for children
brash and brough.

Cracks the whip of Christmas Spirit
Beckons kids to sit and stare at.
Fuels the weir for Christmas wishes.
and calls communion Saint Nick Merrit.

Jealousy and It's Lovers

Maybe it wasn't supposed to be
But it is.
They tried to make it hard but its so easy
They shot and miss'd

They were told it couldn't work
But it does.
They gathered-in the dark where they lurk
To stop Love.

But they were blind
And We saw
What they do to their kind
So we cut them raw

They lived and saw what love can do
So they told the tale of me and you.
